"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"they are so comfortable that both I and my husband have had to feel our ears to check whether we were still wearing them."
"Also super bonus I've never head banged with earphones this hard besides with these soundcores, they stick to me like glue even when I'm in a metal mood and I'm headbanging for a good hour."

"For an open style earbud, these genuinely surprised me with their overall performance in sound at this price point. ... IMHO, these Soundpeats PearlClip Pro are probably the best I’ve heard in this under $50 price category when it comes to this style of earbuds. ... These are one of the best clip-on earbuds in this price category especially when it comes to price to performance in sound quality and feature set"
"How much of a difference does a little 5 ohm impedance bump make? A whole hell of a lot actually. ... we get a HUGE bass boost in the balance of this IEM, running into the mid range and smoothing out the treble. If you add foam tips into the equation, what you get is a bassy, new meta-like sound with a much fuller mid bass and lower mid range, making for much richer male vocals while eliminating Harman shout and spice. Once adapted, the set has a much more pronounced mid bass kick and texture, and will satisfy a fair amount of bassheads. ... All in all, the adapter makes it sound like a completely different IEM, and that makes for a pretty versatile, choose-your-own-adventure style experience."
"I struggle to tell the difference between them and "premium" buds that cost 3 or 4 times more, so I just stick with these. ... I auditioned these between Bose QC 2024, Pixel Buds Pro and Sony WF-1000XM5 and I can't really tell the difference. ... certainly not enough to make me pay 4x as much."

"It's been awesome for the month i've had mine and is able to connect to xbox/ps5 at the same time as your PC and can have dual-channel audio going on at the same time."
"easy to... pair with 2 devices at once. ... I use it to connect with my pc and my iPhone and it handles the audio switch really well."
"internal connections for example i use Sunshine & Moonlight to game stream to my living room TV or my bedroom projector and I get the full 2.5gig speed test to my desktop from the tv, projector and my phone that are on wifi"

"reliable ... I’ve been using the same inflatable pad for 6 or 7 years now and I’ve never had an issue with punctures or leaks"
"I’ve had them for 5 years now, use daily, and have had zero issues."
"used a double wide exped for numerous years with zero issue."

"Transparency Mode is good on both. OnePlus sounds a bit more natural. ... They are excellent, after a while I forgot that I had them in the ear because they are so lightweight. I could hear everything naturally, although a little bit amplified, but there was no artifacts or distortion from the buds. Walking through the vegetable section I could clearly hear the misting of the vegetables going on about 30 ft away, I could hear people talking clearly and everything as if the buds weren't in my ear. ... Then walking through the parking lot I could hear the electric cars slowly creeping up on me and carts creaking from a while away ... So yes, the transparency mode is amazing, tier S as they would say"
"the transparency mode is the best I’ve heard yet"
"It also has way better anc and transparency which probably does make up for the sound. ... I think the Buds 4 smokes it out of the water. Buds 4 are comparable to Ear 2024s"

"noice cancel made me nuts in my old car , as it makes rumble and humming more noticeable specially the difrencial of mycar, and i dont make this up ... if noice cancelation is top dont get pro3’s fr, it make me nuts in my car and emulate humming rattiling noices"
"advertised Noise Cancellation does not actually remove outside sound at all."
"very poor ANC"

"they constantly disconnect/fade in and out when I walk around and it drives me nuts."
"I have read it could be due to 2.4GHz wireless networks but not much I can do about that. ... I have tried everything short of turning off my 2.4GHz network, can't do that as I have a lot of IoT devices plus there are my neighbors 2.4GHz bands to worry about. ... Nothing else I have from Corsair wireless (mouse) does that so it must be the channel the headset runs on. ... If only we could change that on the headset."
"For me, whenever there is a lull in sound in a game (goes quiet), the headphones",switch off" until their is sound again, but there is a delay in that sound so you miss the first second or so. ... Sounds minor, but it's quite frustrating when a cut scene starts and you miss the first word .. but happens all the time, and Corsair has no idea why."

"they got wet and died ... which sucks for 200$ ear buds"
"the right earbud just stopped working after one day I stepped away while wearing it still connected to my laptop. ... Tried resetting and everything else, but it just won't connect or work properly, this is tiresome."
"Bought redmi 6 buds play in June, and in September, its battery started to drain. Even after leaving the buds in the case for the whole day, it was charged only 50%."
saw this kinda question a lot and honestly most people end up happy with either Soundcore Liberty 4s or the Pixel Buds A if they want something cheaper. the Liberty 4s are kinda the do everything well option as in comfy, great battery, solid anc and the sound is way better than the price suggests. they’re the ones i reach for when i’m not trying to think too hard lol. if you want something lighter/cheaper, Pixel Buds A are stupid comfortable and sound clean, just no real noise canceling. airpods pro are also great but only if you’re in the apple ecosystem, but you’re basically paying extra for the convenience. I would suggest checking sites like reddit vetted which basically summarize reddit reviews for you-i did that and ended up with soundcore after checking the good reviews
r/Earbuds • What’s the best pair of wireless earbuds for everyday use? ->Nice! Battery is really good too. I got Pixel buds recently (free with plan), and they are pretty good, but Sony battery seems better.
r/TechnicalDeathMetal • Best budget earbuds ->No, that's the trade-off. I wear Shokz to maintain situational awareness of my surroundings (cars, animals, etc.). I've used the Pixel Buds' transparency mode, but I'm not a fan because they've slipped out on occasion.
r/running • What earbuds do you use while running? ->Used pixel buds A since they came out. Switched this week to buds pro 2
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->Interesting way to gather the data! I personally tried a few of the high ranking ones and they really didn't live up to hype. Pixel buds not being on the list for r/earbuds is wild tho. Also, very shall but, it's upward not onward
r/dataisbeautiful • I analyzed 1 year of wireless earbuds recommendations on Reddit (Nov 2024–2025). These are the top 25 (r/Earbuds vs all subreddits) ->Buds Pro 2 currently, but I still have and use Buds 2 and A, depending on what I'm doing and where I'm at. My kids have the Buds Pro and the Sony as well. We all agree that musically speaking you can really dial the Sony's in, to where they're the best sounding for most music, but overall we say the Buds Pro 2 are the best. Size, battery life and fit for sure.
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->Wait until one of the ear buds stops working. I have pixel buds and pixel buds a and both the left ear stopped working.
r/GooglePixel • Disappointed by Pixel Buds Pro 2 ->Wait until one of the ear buds stops working. I have pixel buds and pixel buds a and both the left ear stopped working.
r/GooglePixel • Disappointed by Pixel Buds Pro 2 ->Pixel earbuds work well. I have a Pixel 6 Pro phone and MacBook. Works well. Have Pixel A Buds and trying out the Pixel Buds Pro 2 right now. Also trialing the Nothing Ear earbuds given rave reviews and have multipoint. Seems good; though, I can't figure out the controls on the stems at all.
r/Earbuds • What is the best earbuds with multi connect function ? ->Pixel earbuds work well. I have a Pixel 6 Pro phone and MacBook. Works well. Have Pixel A Buds and trying out the Pixel Buds Pro 2 right now. Also trialing the Nothing Ear earbuds given rave reviews and have multipoint. Seems good; though, I can't figure out the controls on the stems at all.
r/Earbuds • What is the best earbuds with multi connect function ? ->Hey Routine, no I haven't, but in my opinion the google buds are way more secure in the ear, they're much smaller, have the wing, and for my ears, are definitely a better fit than the AZ100's. The AZs are good, but not as secure or comfortable.
r/Earbuds • Exposing the Truth About Wireless Earbuds: Hype, Price, and Real Value ->Yeah sorry man! They are comfy, and they are relatively secure, but I definitely dont think they compare to the Googles, if you had problems with the pixel buds pro 2 (bearing in mind all our ears are different so take this with a grain of salt) then I dont think the AZ100's could be better. They definitely sound more clear than the GPBP2 though! They're pretty close to the Jabra Elite 10 gen 2 or the Jabra Elite 8s I'd say, like very close in terms of comfort/security.
